“A clear first milestone, a named owner and an agreed handover: start the comparison there.”

// 01

Choose the delivery responsibility you want to buy

Start with the result, the named team and the risk you keep. Wavect combines senior product judgement with implementation, a no-questions refund of the latest paid retainer week and weekly cancellation without notice. The same satisfaction protection covers the fixed-price milestone agreed in your signed offer. Compare those concrete terms with each provider’s published offer and your actual proposals.

What we are not

  • We do not bill by the hour. We sell outcomes, not timesheets. If hourly is non-negotiable on your side, a freelance platform is the right tool.
  • We do not take equity instead of cash. We are a service business, not a co-founder substitute. If cash is not on the table, a real co-founder is the next step.
  • We are not the cheapest, and we do not try to be. If hours-per-euro is the only metric, a lower-cost staffing option will win on price and the comparison ends there.
  • We are not the right call for already-profitable companies that just need raw engineering capacity at scale. A staffing firm is built to add headcount at scale for that job.

FAQs

By the categories of provider we lose deals to. Not by the alternatives that flatter our pricing or scope.
Because the question is being asked with or without us. If a buyer is comparing Wavect to a freelance platform, we would rather the comparison be in our words and our framing than a competitor’s.
Often. Across our own discovery calls, roughly one in three ends with us pointing the founder somewhere else. The work we win is the work we are genuinely the right fit for. Anything else compounds badly.
These categories cover the comparisons we actually see in discovery calls. If your situation is genuinely different, book a call and we will be honest about whether we are the right pick.
Yes, slightly. We are the ones writing them. We have done our best to make each alternative section sting where it should. If you find a comparison that reads as straw-manning the other side, email us and we will fix it.

Still not sure which row you are in?

Book a thirty-minute call. We will tell you straight whether one of our comparisons fits, or whether you should pick the alternative. No pitch, no obligation.
